A few important registration reminders:
To register, visit dmps.revtrak.net/Community-Ed-Classes
Clubs fill quickly, so it’s important to create an account and ensure your information is up-to-date before registration opens
Clubs are free to all students and students can enroll in up to two clubs per session. If there is still availability after Sunday, March 24, at noon, students may enroll in a third club

Help Make Clubs Accessible to All
A goal of our Hanawalt Community (PTA) program is to make after-school clubs accessible to all students, regardless of barriers like cost and transportation. To achieve that goal, we need your help! If you can provide a ride home for students on a consistent basis, please indicate your availability when you register. This important volunteer role keeps our clubs open to all students in our community; it can truly be the difference in a child’s ability to participate. Thank you for helping in this way!
